I can’t wait to see who drafts my girl Enes Kanter Freedom. 😂

In a video, the former New York Knicks and Boston Celtics star said: 'After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines, I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.

'If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.

'My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.”

”See you at training camp.”

The WBNA have now issued a statement. I've no doubt that they will try everything to wriggle out of not accepting any of the guys that are putting themselves forward to play - probably accuse them of not being 'true trans' or some such

😂 they don't have a clue how to respond, do they?! Hate, blah blah, inclusion (of men, natch), blah blah blah. They know this is shining a spotlight onto their nonsense and that's all they can come up with.

I 100% think this will happen.

This is what an ally looks like....
So stunning and so brave 💃

LOVE this for him....

I hope some of his ex team mates join him to really highlight what nonsense this is.

Show quote history

Yes, this is what stunning and brave looks like 😂

It's going to be fun watching teams tie themselves in knots figuring it all out....

What a lovely, lovely man, to stick his head so far above the parapet in support of women athletes.

At 6’ 10” his head must be so so so far above the parapet. The parapet is a dot to him.

Given there will be metric based fitness tests etc, I can't see how he won't come top, and therefore not picking him will make no sense, and his lawyers will be on it. Bring it on.

Remember Avi Silverberg?

Looking on X and there are now quite a few men doing the same and putting up videos similar to this one from XX-XY Athletics. The next couple of weeks should be pretty entertaining.

I shall enjoy watching this one.
Good lads.

One thing we can probably be sure of is that even though the two male basketball players are supporting women (they are right? I'm not familiar with this particular dust-up yet), the reporting will be totally about trans "rights".

Women's rights will continue to be completely obscured by the Somebody Else's Problem field.

His size is the point.

They are not .....just like us....

Not off topic. His size is totally relevant.

Helleofabore · 08/08/2026 14:07

It will actually force the discussion. And it also will take the focus off people harassing Sophie Cunningham.

It will also force all those coaches who declared that they are all for inclusion to either support him or give reasons why they don’t. I reckon that many will simply deflect as they have been trying to do with Sophie Cunningham and will call him hateful for mocking others.

SidewaysOtter · 08/08/2026 13:48

Brilliant!

Bet he doesn't get the same level of opprobrium and harassment that Cunningham has, though...

SirChenjins · 08/08/2026 12:14

Brilliant - the more light that's shone on this utter madness the better.

MarcTheGenderSkeptic · 08/08/2026 12:11

The madness is now so ingrained, there will be female sports journalists and coaches etc that will shamelessly publically declare (s)he's welcome in their female team.

elgreco · 08/08/2026 11:38

Brilliant

First class trolling

Chersfrozenface · 08/08/2026 09:38

One poster on the Twix makes a very good point.

”I think you should follow up with this by going to any open tryout by WNBA (accompanied by your lawyers) and then pursuing legal action after you destroy everyone in your tryout and they don’t pick you."

Waitwhat23 · 08/08/2026 09:29

The TRA meltdowns are being met with a shrug and 'it's your rules'.

It's glorious.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 08/08/2026 09:27

If it's OK for Veronica Ivy (currently cheating women out of places in Canadian golf) it must also be good for Enes Kanter Freedom.

More of this please 🙌! Hope the guys in the GAA step in this way too. At this stage it will be the only action officials will take note of.

Chersfrozenface · 08/08/2026 08:45

Go Enes!
